Lots of students are struggling with these “zh ch sh r” sounds.

if you're one of them, or you just want to improve

your pronunciation to sound more like a native,

I'm going to tell you what are the differences

So, I know that these sounds are pretty similar to some in English,

But actually these are not the same as Chinese sounds.

and in English, you don't have our “zh ch sh r” sounds.

So, I think the best way to learn these unique Chinese sounds

is to know where to put your lips and tongue,

try to let your mouth get used to the position

OK without further ado, let's get into it!

I'll start with the most basic one: sh ㄕ

BTW, the symbol next to the Pinyin is Zhuyin,

which is the phonetic symbols we use in Taiwan.

IPA is the International Phonetic Alphabet,

So the IPA of sh ㄕ sound is this one: / ʂ /,

you might notice that there is a curve here.

and let the tip of our tongue point to the position

The tip of your tongue will be a little bit close to the roof of your mouth,

And then you let the air go out through your mouth to voice out. sh

Then let's move on to the next one: zh ㄓ

Base on the tongue position of last one “sh”,

so it means that we also need to curl our tongue.

the position of the tongue is exactly the same as in “sh”.

You can see the IPA of “zh” has an extra symbol: / ʈ /,

so it means that to make the “zh” sound,

you need to block the air in your mouth first,

The way to block air is very simple, let's look at the picture.

and let the tip of your tongue touch the position I point out,

and then start to let the air go through your mouth.

Your tongue is sticking to the position I point out,

And this means you've successfully blocked the air.

let the tip of your tongue go down a little

The position of the tongue is same as “zh” and “sh”.

it's pretty similar with the last one “zh” / ʈʂ /.

it means that you need to block the air first.

Look at the IPA of “zh” and “ch”,

The only difference is that “ch” has a small “h” here

The little “h” means that when you pronounce this sound

OK let me show you with a piece of paper.

which doesn't have an “h” in its IPA,

On the other hand, when I pronounce “ch”,

because the air coming out of my mouth is stronger.

So the strength of the air out of your mouth is

the difference between pronouncing “zh” and “ch”.

The last one, “r” ㄖ, also confuses many students.

But actually this one is not that complicated to learn,

if you know how to pronounce “sh” already.

Because the tongue position of “r” is
